This Patrol Rifle Instructor course is designed for the officer who already exhibits above average rifle shooting/manipulation skills and will give him the knowledge and techniques to better transfer those skills to other officers. This course is NOT an advanced rifle operators course NOR is it a remedial rifle training course for officers with poor rifle skills.

Applicants who fail the prerequisite entry range shooting test (qual) will be removed from the class on the morning of the first day and charged the full course tuition fee

Applicants who fail the shooting test (qual) prior to the beginning of the class, at a pre-qualification site, will be removed from the roster without any charge.

The majority of this class will be classroom training to develop the student into more of a Subject Matter Expert on the Patrol Rifle; live-fire range time will solidify the classroom training.
